Often they're not.  Sometimes they're 6 or 7 pointed stars, and often extend past the circle, rather than are confined within it.

Though apparently the older ones were kept within the circle mostly.

Dina:
Ok, I've just read this story. I liked it more than expected (because I don't care too much for westerns or for Luccio). A few comments (SPOILERS!!!)

I think Luccio considered that setting the place on fire wouldn't be "killing by magic". That doesn't mean there is not a law against that.

About what you were discussing before about McCoy, perhaps he was the Blackstaff and the Captain at the same time, but Luccio didn't know he was the Blackstaff

I agree about how suspicious it it that Kemmler left her skin behind. It smells trap.

I wanted to see Karl set free, his work done. Also I believe he could have been used better.

No dying curses from the bad guys? It seems too convenient. Also I clearly remember Harry several times thinking that a bullet is very efficient against dying curses but that is a modern concept that most old wizards in the Council didn't gatther. Still, Luccio had it very clear in this story

I was angry "someone" saved her in the end. She had done a lot, she deserved to save herself.

Luccio isn't the usual crusty old wizard in the books either. She's very open-minded about modern technology. Her hobby is reading about computers, after all.

I think that might actually be the reason she made Captain in the first place. She wasn't particular about how the job got done, she did it.

Anubissama:
Any thought on Luccio's sword? There are two quotes regarding it:

(click to show/hide)The sword at my side was tingling with power I’d invested in it over the course of the evening, ready to slice apart the threads binding enemy spells together, and I held ready a shield in my mind to prevent attacks upon my thoughts and emotions.
And later during the fight:

(click to show/hide)Grevane parried the blow on a shield of his own, and countered with more lightning. I caught part of it on the sword, but what got through was enough to drive me down to one knee and send agony racing back and forth through my nerve endings.
None of this quotes make it explicit if this is already the Enchantment Cutting Sword she will be making for all the Wardens later. The way it is used here, it could be a simple focus she uses to fight.

Anyway, it would suggest that either Luccio was an outliner as a Warden using a sword, which later gave here the idea to make the enchanted swords which all Wardens would carry.

Or there is a tradition of Warden using sword regardless if they are enchanted or not, which begs the question why didn't the new Baby Wardens and Harry got normal swords.

jonas:
heh (click to show/hide)Shes's totally using her 'lightsaber' to parry force lightning!
